Osiris-Rex spacecraft first visitor to Bennu

Why in the discussion?

After nearly two years of travel, NASA’s spacecraft Osiris-Rex reached the asteroids Bennu on December 3 and took a picture of a diamond-shaped rock. This spacecraft will revolve around Bennu’s orbit from the coming days that is, 31 December. It is noteworthy that no spacecraft has reached the orbit of such a small asteroid so far.

Important point

This is the first American effort to collect asteroids sampling and return to Earth, before that, Japan has made some efforts in this area to some extent.

In the year 2020, scientists will collect samples collected by this vehicle and by 2023 it will return to Earth.

Scientists are eager to study the material of carbon rich asteroids such as Bennu, which is proof of the initial construction of our Solar System 4.5 billion years ago.

Thus Bennu is similar to a celestial time capsule.

Meanwhile, a Japanese spacecraft named Ryugu, will depart from earth to collect samples of asteroids from June. This is Japan’s second asteroid mission.
